With Easter on the horizon, I’ve been planning out my holiday menu. I love to keep Easter dinner itself pretty simple-ham and veggies-but make the finger foods and appetizers the star of the show. These Boursin and Bacon Stuffed Puff Pastries are deceptively easy to make and scream sophistication. No one will be the wiser that you didn’t spend hours in the kitchen to make them!
The puff pastries are deceptively easy to make and no one will believe they are only 5 ingredients!

Taking a few seconds to be intentional adding the bacon and green onion makes these appetizers really look foodie-worthy!
Since you spent a little time and effort making the puff pastries scale back on the rest of your appetizers by putting together an easy and attractive appetizer tray!
For this tray I simply worked with a few ingredients I grabbed on the fly at Walmart-Boursin Monterey Jack and Pepper Cheese Dip, grapes, clementine oranges, crackers, some prosciutto, and veggies. The key to making this no-hassle appetizer worthy of your party is to arrange it attractively for your guests. I transferred the Boursin dip to a glass container and topped with some chopped green onion I had leftover from my pastries. Then I arranged the fruits, veggies, meats, and crackers around the dip on a large cutting board for display. See this video for a step by step:
So pretty and incredibly easy right? I love how colorful it is-it invites people to dive right in!
